About Me

Growing up, my grandfather shared his love of music with me. He was an impressive musician. He played the acoustical guitar at his church every Sunday. This loving man also expertly played the harmonica and the mandolin. At the age of four, he gave me a beautiful piano. He longed for me to learn how to play this instrument. To help me accomplish this task, my parents signed me up for piano lessons when I was in the second grade. Besides playing the piano, I started singing solos at my church and at community events when I was in the seventh grade. Even now, I sing solos every time I get the opportunity to do so. Music has provided me with so much happiness throughout my lifetime. On this blog, I hope you will discover how to make music a larger priority in your life. Enjoy!
